    Episode notes · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    The boys talk about how the Trumpapalooza convention in Dallas reeks of desperation, Trump’s bribe to voters, how the Republican party has no principles, and how Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders refuses to spend any political capital on helping sick kids.

    Some hopefulness, for a change (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    The boys are back to talk about all the crazy sh*t that’s happened over the last week, plus they review some of their viewer feedback (surprise, it’s mostly homophobic insults), and talk about some hopeful things you can hang your hat on, at least for now. They also talk about music and food recommendations, including Sierra Ferrell and Lee Bains III.

    DISTRACTIONS, DISTRACTIONS (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    The boys run down all the should-be scandals that have happened since the last episode, what happens when the AI bubble pops (and it will pop), and how Republicans have decided COVID actually was bad and are now trying to pin the deaths on Anthony Fauci. It’s all very exhausting.
